Kōun Yamada is an important voice in the landscape of Zen Buddhism as this story continues its unfolding in the West. He has played such an important role in pointing the way for familiar, contemporary practitioners such as Robert Aitkens, Philip Kapleau and Ruben Habito. This book is an invitation to explore the wisdom of a modern master.

n The Gateless Gate, one of modern Zen Buddhism's uniquely influential masters offers classic commentaries on the Mumonkan, one of Zen's greatest collections of teaching stories. This translation was compiled with the Western reader in mind, and includes Koan Yamada's clear and penetrating comments on each case. Yamada played a seminal role in bringing Zen Buddhism to the West from Japan, going on to be the head of the Sanbo Kyodan Zen Community.

From a true master. The Teisho are some of the finest.
